Making The Blue Sweater the Common Book at Your University
Hey Wei Wei, Great idea! Here is a step-by-side guide: 1. Identify the committee members for the Common Book Program at your school. Although I knew of the program beforehand, a simple search on y…

I've definitely connected with that passage as well, because it's a real lesson to work with an international company coming from a completely different culture! When I interned with Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, the internship program was INCREDIBLY…

First of all Thanks to Nethy for pointing out the Members search. I've taken the list of colleges and am working my way through it looking for potential members who would be willing to push for it becoming a common book on their campus. The next ste…
Noah,
If you click "members," you get a little search box. Try searching for the name of a university in there. It won't find everyone, but a lot of people mention the university in their profile. It'll find those. Try searching for multiple spelli…
Oh wow, what an awesome list. Let me mull this over tonight and I'll try to have something for you tomorrow. Thanks so much for such an awesome list!
Thanks, Noah - I like the way you think. One potentially effective way you might help us ICE students is by going through your network of contacts and comparing it against this list of "One Book"/common book schools to Identify students:

Anyone else taken a look for other schools that have this type of common book? Anyone else know what else it might be called?
Thanks for the reply. I think the Blue Sweater is a great common book. I was driving along today in the cold winter Minnesota weather and thinking...snow and ice...snow and ice...ICE!

C- Communicate

Love your thinking, Noah. You can find students on a few different groups on this site:
-Students for The Blue Sweater
-Campuses for Social Enterprise
-Young People for Social Enterprise
Unfortunately we don't have a good way of allowing the publi…
Is there anyone to locate members based on the school they now attend easily?
Maybe we should get a list of current students that are apart of them community and give them a little nudge and support in the right direction.
Ravi - this is an excellent idea. Your pitch needs to be three-fold
1) The cross-curricular academic content of the book. Literature (non-fiction-memior) global studies, economics and agricultural studies (OSU is a land grant university). You can b…
Nice Job.

I am currently looking to freshly get started a social enterpreneurship/youth leadership venture, so do you know of anything in that mould around your place which can do with an Indian franchise? I can lead or organise a team of interested students and do sponsors-hunting. So, do tell me if you know of any oganisation in that mould.
Cheers
Anish
